biography

I am a DPhil student working on computational linguistics. My research area is the syntactic analysis of the Chinese language, using discriminative machine-learning approaches. I have worked on word segmentation, joint word segmentation and POS-tagging, phrase-structure parsing and dependency parsing. I worked on Chinese-English machine-translation during MSc studies in Oxford, and parallel computing during undergrad studies in Tsinghua University. More information about me can be found in my CV.

I have taken my thesis defense, and expect to graduate in the near future. I am looking for a lecturer, postdoc or researcher position on computational linguistics / machine-learning.
